Genius Janitor Reference
There was a sequence in this episode with a janitor solving the equation 2+2=4, then eating the piece of chalk and running away. I know that is a reference to something, but I can't recall what! Does anyone know? - 84253 10:43, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

The idea is vaguely like the plot to Flowers for Algernon although I'm not entirely sure it was a direct reference. If you want to claim it though I think I'll let it in. --Buckimion 12:42, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

I think this was a reference to Good Will Hunting, when Matt Damon's character made changes to a formula on a chalkboard after hours when school was out (I think he was also a janitor at nights but I'm not certain) Oneillrb 16:22, October 13, 2010 (UTC)oneillrb

I've newer seen the movie, but reading the plot on wikipedia I'd almost bet Good Will Hunting is it. --Buckimion 16:27, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

Good Will Hunting! Yes! Thank you! - 84253 17:20, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

Possible reference for "cheap weed and applesauce"
Reginald's "cheap weed and applesauce" quote sounds like a Brady Bunch quote from Peter Brady...Peter asked Alice, the housekeeper, what she was making for dinner and Alice said "pork chops and applesauce"...Peter repeated this line in an accent that sounded like a Bogart or Cagney type manner..."pork chops and applesauce...that's swell" This may be on YouTube, but I can't check from work.
